And fans in the UK won't be left behind their American counterparts as it was also announced Outlander Season 2 will be shown on Amazon Prime just one day later, on April 10.

The story, which is based on Diana Gabaldon's second novel Dragonfly in Amber, will see main stars Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and pregnant wife Claire (Caitriona Balfe) head to France to try and change the course of history.

The couple will attempt to stop the Battle of Culloden by seeking out Bonnie Prince Charlie.

A new trailer, which was revealed along with the announcement, shows there will be plenty of epic moments in store as the expecting couple adapt to their new surroundings.

And there is even the return of a familiar face - Claire's husband Frank Randall.
